This is a devastating oversimplification and while zoning laws are a small piece of the puzzle, it’s one of the smallest.

Let’s get busy taking about the REAL problem.

Inflation of house prices by CONTROLLING inventory.

Pulling millions of units off the market and turning them into rentals.

Zero down federally backed mortgages creating false bubbles in flailing communities.

Cost of energy, goods and services.

Labor market.

On and on….

This is tragedy that spans many actors and the confluence cannot be stashed behind such a naïve take.
